Evaluation of the wind conditions reported to the meteorological station sites for the time interval 1999–2008. The analyses are based on the in situ measurements and the NCEP data and correspond to the mean values of (a) monthly wind speeds registered at the meteorological stations, (b) monthly wind speeds provided by the NCEP model, (d) and (c) diurnal-nocturnal variations of the wind speeds according to the in situ measurements and the NCEP data, respectively.
